Mark Zuckerberg may have co-founded the social media service Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms, but as of late, the controversy he has been garnering through his comments has been nothing short of throwing dirt on his name and reputation. For one, the 40-year-old is under the limelight for all the wrong reasons for his chauvinist remarks.
Recently, Zuckerberg said some things that ostensibly hinted at his negative perspective toward “feminine energy” and encouraged “masculine energy” in companies. After reading that, fans can’t help but comment how this makes the best scene inThe Social Networkeven better — the one where Andrew Garfield’s Eduardo destroyed Jesse Eisenberg’s Zuckerberg’s computer.
Mark Zuckerberg’s recent stunt is making a ‘The Social Network’ scene even better
For one who gained a lot of attention for becoming an icon to look up to,Mark Zuckerberghas been getting under the spotlight for some really controversial remarks lately. To start with, he recently made the comment about how he believes most companies need more “masculine energy” and have been neutered by “feminine energy.”
Appearing onThe Joe Rogan Experiencepodcast, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Meta Platforms and Facebook said, “Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it.” Continuing, he added that it’s good if a culture “celebrates the aggression a bit more.”
It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy. I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing.
At the same time, he also emphasized how he grew up with three sisters, has three daughters, and wants women to succeed in corporations, saying, “If you’re a woman going into a company, it probably feels like it’s too masculine. It’s — there isn’t enough of the energy that you may naturally have. You want women to be able to succeed and have companies that can unlock all the value from having great people no matter what their background or gender.”

While this latter part does underscore that he views “feminine energy” with considerable importance as well, the former part of his comment has been putting him under a lot of fire from netizens worldwide. To say the least, fans are now putting Zuckerberg’s exclusive move in light of the filmThe Social Network, which portrayed the founding of Facebook, starringJesse Eisenbergas him andAndrew Garfieldas his friend Eduardo Saverin.
In the movie, there’s a scene where Garfield’s Eduardo, after finding out that Zuckerberg had diluted his share of Facebook from 34% to 0.03%, goes ahead to trash his computer out of anger at his betrayal. That scene unarguably went down as the best scene in the entire movie, and now netizens are saying they wish he had destroyed all of his computers back then.
